I've seen some comments about the staff not playing the younger guys on the team or failing to develop rotational depth. So, I decided to dig into the numbers by looking at the number of players expected to return next year with at least 20% of snaps played (by position). Admittedly, I don't have the best grasp on eligibility remaining, who will be going to the portal, or who will be going to the draft but I don't think I'm far off.
